Hello, what was your first second-opinion scanner?
Mine was Malwarebytes Anti-Malware then SUPERAntiSpyware and eventually Spybot Search & Destroy.

Ad-aware and Spybot if they could be considered as such. MBAM more recently. Zemana currently.

MalwareBytes Antimalware. Was recommended everywhere so i gave it a try. With the ugly GUI.

Spybot Search & Destroy... I miss this program being good.

My first on demand was ExterminateIt!(it's still developed). But later I changed to MBAM and Spybot after trying it out.

I can remember my two first ones, not sure by what order, which one I used first.They were:
- Kaspersky Malware Removal Tool
- Emsisoft AntiMalware
KMRT and Emsisoft were pretty good from what I can remember,even though Emsisoft's percentage of false-positives was kind of high, so yeah, double check stuff. Other than that, seemed good for a newbie.

Also, first post on the forum, eyyyy!

Hitman Pro was my first Second opinion Scanner

During my elementary years, I've used MBAM as my on demand scanner however considering that my risk is too low to handle because of not involving any malware activity hence its only for backup purposes. Other programs are HMP and ESET Online Scanner.
